I wonder if the asynchronous behavior could be supported by blocking
the signal up-front, asking the user and then manually firing the
signal from the client-side? Thoughts?

I don't think it should be a blocker, but I've found it useful for
ensuring proper separation-of-concerns. For instance, the
FullScreenController could live in WebCore and be shared between
WebKit1 and WebKit2. We use this pattern a lot already.
